National Guard Protective Zone Act
To amend title 18, United States Code, to establish criminal penalties for interfering with National Guard protective zones.
HB7898 proposes to create criminal penalties for interfering with protective zones set up by the National Guard. This means that if someone tries to disrupt or harm the National Guard while they are operating in these zones, they could face legal consequences. This bill is intended to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the National Guard in protecting communities.
The bill would primarily affect individuals who might interfere with National Guard operations in designated protective zones. Law enforcement and the National Guard would be the main enforcers of these new penalties, ensuring that those who break the law are held accountable.
HB7898 was introduced on March 12, 2026, and was referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary the same day. This means it is now under review by the committee, which will decide its next steps in the legislative process.
